Microfocus 4.1 and filesizes > 2Gb 1

[gbell]

We're experiencing a problem attempting a conversion on one of the tables where the extracted flat file exceeds two Gigabytes. It's giving a run time error of 194 and the manual says to recode your program to create more than one file - a workaround. With later versions of Micofocus you can configure the system to use files greater than 2 Gig.

Does anyone know if it is possible to configure Microfocus 4.1 for UNIX to accept filesizes greater than 2 Gig, and if so, where and how?

Thanks in advance.

We had the same problem but it was the OS version with the 2gb limit. As a work around we are dumping that table using two msd (copyied to do half each) and are putting it back together on the new machine befoer the msc runs.

What I have always done for the dump/convert/load is to use compressed files. Examples below
